In February 2017, Wantagh Martial Arts merged into Tiger Martial Art!. We are happy to welcome Wantagh instructors Craig Sherman and Jeremy Piaser, as well as all of their students, to our dojo in Levittown. I have known both Jeremy and Craig for over 20 years. Craig and I used to teach and train together at the old Westbury Dojo back in the early 90's. Jeremy was our junior student back then, and he later became an assistant instructor, Black belt, instructor, and then went on to compete under me in Sambo, grappling, MMA etc... Jeremy was also an instructor at Tiger Martial Arts before opening Wantagh Martial Arts with sensei Craig. We are very pleased with having their students train with our current Tiger martial Arts students, because we are martial arts family, our curriculum is very similar, and the students have adapted nicely to each other. Having Wantagh Martial Arts merge with us has allowed us to expand our mat space to about 2800 sq ft of mats, with 4 sparring rings!

Renegade Martial Arts Training Systems has been established to help both Martial Arts school owners and individuals learn the various aspects of our teaching and training structure that we have developed over the past 20 years of teaching and training full time. We will have online training videos and information available to martial artists and schools that are part of the RMATS association. More information will be available as we continue to develop the technical details.

Recently, I received an email from someone asking if we are still open for training. Yes! We are still here! We have over 150 students training, learning, competing, and growing, week in and week out. 2014 saw our kids Sambo team show up in force at The Arnolds Sambo Tournament in Columbus Ohio and at the USA Sambo Open In Philadelphia. The Kids did great, with 3 of them winning national titles! Our adult Sambo team did very well, as we usually do. It has been a long time since I have updated the website or posted new BLOG entries. We do get many visitors to this page, and I will make a better effort to keep everyone updated more often. Please follow us on Facebook (Team Renegade NY) or Twitter (Renegade Tiger) for more regular updates. Happy Holidays to everyone!
